This tubular single adjustable panhard bar replaces the flimsy stock
stamped panhard bar while adding increased strength and rear end
adjustment. This panhard bar is a must for rear end centering after
vehicle lowering, as well as clearance for running larger tires. The
installed Roto-Joint allows for adjustments off the car to quickly
lengthen or shorten the panhard bar to the desired length. The
spherical Roto-Joint/polyurethane bushing combination eliminates most
rear end bind while not sacrificing ride quality. This item is an
excellent improvement for your street or drag application.

More about Roto-Joint Technology….. UMI's
Roto-Joint, short for Rotational Joint, allows 28 degrees of total
rotation and unrestricted movement throughout the vehicles suspension.
The Roto-Joint is designed to work like a spherical rod end while
maintaining streetable qualities of a softer bushing. The Roto-Joint is
designed to articulate and prevent suspension bind, and since the
installed delrin race does not deflect like softer bushings, there is
an improvement in traction and a significant reduction in wheel hop.
The construction of the Roto-Joint features a 4140 chrome moly, hard
chrome plated spherical ball which rotates in a delrin race. The 4140
chrome moly material and hard chrome plating are designed for extensive
wear resistance against hard driving and accumulated miles. The
spherical ball rotates in the CNC machined delrin bushing, which is
contoured for the spherical ball to allow unrestricted movement as the
ball rotates. Delrin is the bushing material of choice due to its high
resistance against wear, great tensile strength, and ability to
maintain its physical properties. The housing of the Roto-Joint
features 4140 chrome moly threads, and a CNC machined bushing holder TIG
welded together for the utmost in strength and durability. The UMI
Roto-Joint is adjustable and 100% rebuildable. This means as the delrin
race wears the adjuster ring can be tightened using the optional
spanner wrench to apply tension to the ball. If the delrin race would
ever wear completely it can be replaced easily.
Spanner Wrench- This spanner wrench is used for
adjusting and disassembling Roto-Joints used in all UMI Performance
products. Over time if the delrin race inside the Roto-Joint would wear
the spanner wrench is used to tighten the adjusting ring applying more
pressure to the delrin inside. The spanner wrench is also used to
disassemble the Roto-Joint for cleaning, inspection and rebuilding.
